IT’S usually assumed that men want sex more than women – but a new study has revealed that might not be the case after all.

Researchers keen to challenge common sex stereotypes – including that women aren’t interested in sex, have fewer orgasms and get emotionally attached after hooking up – found that women are actually hornier than men.

Most women orgasm during each sexual encounter – many do so more than once.

“While we didn’t ask men how frequently they achieve orgasm, we did learn that 49% of women report orgasming at least once or even multiple times during each sexual encounter.

“Many other women report having orgasms often, but not every time they engage in sexual activity.

“And hey, sometimes orgasm isn’t the primary goal of sexual activity.

“A 1994 survey reported that 75% of men and 29% of women always have orgasms with their partner. Our findings indicate that in the twenty years since that study was conducted, more women are achieving orgasm during each sexual encounter.

A study conducted by the Kinsey Institute concluded that 18 to 29 year olds tend to get the most loving – at about 112 times per year – while those in their forties average around 69 sex sessions per year.
